Personal Accident insurance protects players, committee members, managers, trainers and assistant referees/officials in the event of an accident arising from football activities.

Ahead of the 2017-18 season, the FA ruled to make personal accident insurance mandatory for all age groups and formats of football, including youth.

Personal accident insurance for Adult 11-a-side football has been mandatory for a number of years now and has been extremely beneficial in providing protection and financial support to players at all grassroots levels.

Cover is purchased when your club affiliate to the Association and full details are shown on the Affiliation form.

Public Liability Insurance

Public Liability insurance is also mandatory and all clubs should carry a limit of no less than £10,000,000.

The NGIS County cover scheme is available to affiliated clubs, leagues and match officials affiliated to the Association.

Cover is arranged by the association as a group policy; allowing you to purchase the cover at a much cheaper premium, whilst benefiting from the wider cover of a policy that has been designed specifically with grassroots football in mind.

If you're covered by Bluefin Public Liability Insurance as part of your club's affiliation to Suffolk FA, please download the certificate below for your records.

Cover can be purchased via Whole Game System when affiliating at the start of the season. This is purchased from the additional products page on the online affiliation form.

Where can I find details of the cover I am purchasing?

Yes, please download the adult/youth brochure where you can access all of the details required to purchase your Personal Accident insurance. This is purchased directly from Bluefin and their website and contact details are listed within the brochure.

Bluefin can provide quotes for teams at all levels. However, the higher up the pyramid you play the more likely it is that your league has an insurance agreement in place. If in doubt ask your league before purchasing insurance.

Do I have to purchase my cover via Bluefin when affiliating?

We advise using Bluefin Cover but if you purchase from another supplier, you must provide the Association with the insurance certificate which includes the cover amounts to make sure it meets the required level of Cover as per the County FA membership rules.

How do we go about purchasing additional cover for a new team after affiliation?

If you start a new team in either Adults or Youth football they will need to be covered and additional cover can be arranged by contacting the Football Services team.
